While it depends on each individual’s situation, some of the goals of therapy may include to:

Sort the things out that are on your mind

Get something off your chest

Reduce emotional pain

Increase your ability to understand and cope with your feelings

Decrease symptoms of anxiety or depression

Gain freedom from an addiction

Improve your ability to understand and get along with your family and peers

Learn more about yourself and your relationships

Get some support and direction

Have an opportunity to talk to someone who will listen without judgment

Address grief and loss or feelings of loneliness

Understand the disease of addiction and learn how to live with it

Life can be overwhelming. It’s important to know that everyone needs help once in a while. Going to a counseling session doesn’t mean you are weak or crazy. It just means you might be searching for a different perspective.

Crossroads for Women is offering a one-hour therapy session for free to new clients during the month of May. We promise no diagnosis and no paperwork. Just an opportunity to see if counseling could be beneficial to you.

Crossroads is CARF accredited, a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, and is committed to providing high quality care to women, men, and families struggling with substance use and mental health disorders.
